This week in Reading, we read the story “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” and talked about adventures that can cause trouble. We learned about the letter Gg and discussed characters. We also read several other versions of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” and compared and contrasted each one to find our favorite! Next week, we will be reading the story “If You Could Go to Antarctica” and learning about Antarctic adventures. We will be learning the letter Ee and practicing classifying and categorizing. We will be learning three new words: from, go, here.

This week in Math, we started our topic on Addition. We began discussing how to join two groups together to make one whole group. We learned what a “number story” was and how to use the words “in all” and “altogether.” Next week, we will practice joining more groups, learn how to use the plus sign, and practice writing number sentences.
